Y'all sure seriously making jokes about a natural disaster right now? That's pretty fricked up.

Dang, not good.
The USGS says it was only 10 km +/- 1.8 km deep.
That's pretty shallow, which means it's the most destructive. Less traveling distance for the seismic waves to dissipate.

Pretty messed up considering the past 20 pages of this forum are about a pain, suffering, and loss during a natural disaster in BR.

Here's why there are earthquakes in Italy, aside from earthquake attributed to volcanism
Map view of Italy. Notice the plate boundary bordering the eastern coastline of Italy.
That means the plate Italy is on is overriding another (African Plate) and that motion between the overriding plate and downward moving plate is causing the earthquakes.
Here it is from side view. The best scenario is if an earthquake had to occur, it'd happen deep down on the plate interaction, but this one happened very shallow. And the waves didn't dissipate as they traveled through the crust and affected the surface, giving a magnitude of 6.2.

Not good.
That's one of the more densely populated areas of Italy. Historically, the Apennines have been quite volatile. We have many records of quakes and volcanoes in Italy dating back to ancient Roman times.
Hopefully, damage and loss of life is minimal.

I bet Croatia felt it, as well.

Found more info. People close to the epicenter are reporting in with what they have experienced.
The USGS said they have an intensity of VII.
Magnitude is quantitative, and intensity is qualitative. It ranks the level of destruction versus the actual force of the quake.
Here's the intensity scale:
So at a VII in intensity, they should still be in good shape if their buildings are built to withstand shaking.
ETA: I need to correct that VII to a VIII because that VII is what another place experienced, not the epicenter. Where the 6.2 Mag. earthquake was read was VIII.
So that may mean there's damage to infrastructure that's not well-equipped for shaking.
